Queen's Absence at Philip's Deathbed: New Royal Biography

0:00On March 30, a new biography is shaking up the royal family image, claiming Queen Elizabeth wasn't at Prince Philip's deathbed back in April 20, 21. Instead of being there, she told her staff to let her know when he was gone, and they informed her 20 minutes after he passed. It pains their 73-year marriage, as one where he slipped away without a final goodbye. The book says, Elizabeth was absolutely furious when she got the news, calling it a perfect symbol of their dynamic. Philip, known for his reserved and sometimes tough side, always wanted things low-key and this fit right in. The funeral happened during the COVID pandemic, so only 30 mourners showed up, keeping it intimate just like he preferred. No big crowds or drama, which matched his no-nonsense style. Now, the biography drops another bombshell on his cause of death. It wasn't just old age, like first reported. Historians say Philip battled pancreatic cancer for about 8 years. That's way longer than the usual quick timeline for that tough disease.
